What a treat! Cindy Smith, Mow Cow Lawn & Landscape persons; Bartlett Tree; Casey Trees, and many others devoted much of Friday, March 21 to planting trees and other plants at Central Library, located in Manassas. This project, a service to persons who use the library, is only possible because of support from:
TruGreen
Mow Cow Lawn and Landscaping
Bartlett Tree
Cassey Trees
Because of these persons and companies, we now have a service project in Northern Virginia. May this one be the first of many! The project is at Manassas Central Library. Our installations will capture storm water and provide desperately needed shade for patrons. Legislators and county officials participated, and a great time was had by all. To all who helped with this important service project, thank you from the VTC!
